Our Client
Our client is a venture-backed startup building the infrastructure layer for Property & Casualty (P&C) insurance. Integrating technology in the insurance industry today is much like consumer finance pre-Plaid (they could succinctly be described as "Plaid for Insurance"), or payments pre-Stripe, and our vision is to unlock a similar wave of innovation for the $1.6T global P&C industry.
Today, walking into an insurance agency is like stepping into a time machine. Filing cabinets, fax machines, piles of incoming and outgoing mail. What you don't see is that even for the parts that have been "digitized", needless manual work abounds. Few systems communicate directly, leading to endless copy-pasting from emails to various proprietary web portals/desktop apps and back again.
Carrier by carrier, endpoint by endpoint, our client will bring each of those manual and error-prone data transfers into their simple, modern API layer. The implementation details are subject to change, but this is their north star, and the future they envision isn't possible without it.
🔍 What they're looking for
They are seeking a highly autonomous engineer (employee #1!) excited about owning the design and implementation of a robust, API-driven product and playing a foundational role in the formation of the company.
